  Amazon Kindle (2026): Two-minute reviewWhen Amazon announced its 2026 range of Kindles on October 1, I balked at the prices, particularly for the entry-level model. Then again, I should have expected it, given the current cost of components. The days of Kindles being the affordable ereader are long gone now.Yet the 2026 entry-level Kindle does go some way in justifying its higher price compared to its predecessor thanks to all new hardware that includes new colors — now also in an aluminum cha

• Audeze Maxwell 2 ANC review: an excellent, though not essential, upgrade for the best-sounding gaming headset I’ve ever used

  I like the idea of AI taking care of boring tasks, including sorting through bills and financial paperwork. I can even see the appeal of it helping with shopping. But asking an AI assistant for financial advice and simply handing over the keys to your bank account are different, and this distinction is becoming a problem for some of America's biggest banks.According to a new Axios report, financial institutions are encountering AI agents while they access customer accounts and seem to be doing m
